RME Education Philosophy

Our education philosophy is greatly inspired by the Montessori approach which fosters rigorous, self-motivated growth for children and adolescents in all areas of their development. The goal is to nurture each child’s natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect. We use a variety of hands-on materials to give each child individual and small group lessons at their specific level.

Our classrooms are set up for individually paced learning and foster independence. We encourage empathy, a passion for social justice, and a joy in lifelong learning. Given the freedom and support to question, to probe deeply, and to make connections, the students become confident, enthusiastic, self-directed learners. They are able to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly.

Each child is valued as a unique individual. We recognize that children learn in different ways, and accommodate all learning styles. Students are free to learn at their own pace, each advancing as they are ready, guided by the teachers and an individualized learning plan.
Our approach nurtures order, concentration, and independence. Intentional classroom design, materials, and daily routines support the student’s emerging “self-regulation” (the ability to educate one’s self, and to think about what one is learning), in toddlers through adolescents.
Students are part of a close, caring community. The multi-age classroom re-creates a family structure. Older students enjoy stature as mentors and role models; younger children feel supported and gain confidence about the challenges ahead. Teachers model respect, loving kindness, and a peaceful conflict resolution.
Our students enjoy freedom within limits. Working within parameters set by their teachers and the classroom community, students are active participants in deciding what their focus of learning will be.
Students are supported in becoming active seekers of knowledge. Teachers provide environments where students have the freedom and the tools to pursue answers to their own questions. Internal satisfaction drives the child’s curiosity and interest and results in joyous learning that is sustainable over a lifetime.
Self-correction and self-assessment are an integral part of the our classroom approach. As they mature, students learn to look critically at their work, and become adept at recognizing, correcting, and learning from their errors.
Teachers support social-emotional skills. Contemporary research supports the 100-year-old Montessori Method's effectiveness, indicating that children who learn in Montessori classrooms demonstrate stronger social-emotional skills in many areas than children in more traditional environments.
